"Som fanden leser bibelen" - Norwegian proverb, lit.: "Like the devil reads the bible"

I sense that your arguments are in concordance with TFA, broadly speaking. Also, I suspect you read it rather uncharitably for reasons having to do with tone or stated thesis. Either that, or my reading comprehension is failing me. Maybe I want it to be more convincing that it really is, as i already laid bare my sentiments towards accelerationist woo.

I'll take that as a compliment!

All joking aside, I'm not saying every word of the article is wrong or anything. Maybe I'm just being too literal or pedantic or something. It just seems to me that the article sets out to make one very specific claim, and I just don't think it succeeds in making a strong case for that specific claim. Is there some interesting discussion there? Yes. Are there things that Kelly says that I agree with? Yes, absolutely.

So maybe we're not too far apart on this after all.
